Investing for Impact
Through UOB Venture Management (UOBVM), we drive positive impact through investments in privately-held companies in Southeast Asia and Greater China.
UOB Venture Management (UOBVM) is UOB’s wholly-owned subsidiary focused on providing private equity investments to privately-held companies mainly in Southeast Asia and Greater China. UOBVM is firmly committed to responsible investment practices in relation to our fund management activities, having integrated ESG considerations into our investment approach since 2004.
A signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and the Operating Principles for Impact Management, UOBVM carefully assesses ESG risks pre-investment to help our portfolio companies identify potential issues and mitigating action plans, which are then tracked post-investment in line with our ESG Policy. We take a proactive approach to encouraging our portfolio companies to improve their consideration of ESG risks and factors, providing necessary advisory and support to help them realise this objective. We also focus on capacity building, honing our internal expertise and working closely with our investors and stakeholders to enhance collective capabilities.
Our ESG Policy is reviewed periodically and approved by UOBVM’s ESG Committee under the oversight of the Board of UOBVM. In addition, our Environmental Risk Management Framework, which complies with the Monetary Authority of Singapore's guidelines, covers the governance, policies and control processes to manage material environmental risks in relation to UOBVM’s private equity activities.
ASEAN China Investment Funds
The ASEAN China Investment Funds (ACIF) invest in promising private companies across ASEAN and China to unlock their growth potential, focusing on the themes of Industry 4.0, happiness, well-being, technology and green technology/supply chain.

The Asia Impact Investment Funds (AIIF) support companies that generate positive social outcomes and financial returns by improving the well-being and livelihoods of the ‘Base of Pyramid’ (BoP) communities (referring to people living on US$3,000 or less a year).
